Poetry Friday: Autumn #Gratiku

11/13/2020

6 Comments

 
This week's #gratiku focused on autumn images.  I like to photograph images when I walk.  I've discovered I like to use the images as inspiration for my notebook pages.  
For November 8, 2020
morning frost
scarlett leaves linger
after rain

For November 12, 2020
red sky dawn
early riser gift
before rain

For November 13
grassy blades cradle
frost encrusted maple flag
crunch! dog is clueless


Let's Welcome 2021 with a Poetry Postcard

What I sent last year.
Did you know there are 48 days until 2020 ends? Woohoo! Let's celebrate the New Year with a New Year Postcard? In Japan, it’s called Nengajo, a Japanese custom of ushering in the new year.
How It Works:
  • Choose to send five, ten postcards.
  • Create a postcard:  you can buy a postcard and write a poem on the other side or you can create one postcard to send to everyone (I use Walgreens or Zazzle)
  • Once you get the names, send by February 12, 2021 (beginning of Chinese New Years)
  • If you choose, you can work in the Chinese animal for 2021: The year of the Ox. It is not required.
  • Have fun!

Head over to the very talented Robyn at Life on the Deckle Edge for all the Portey Friday goodness in the world.

Hooray! It's time for New Year Postcard thinking. I love this exchange and look forward to it every year. Thanks for your lovely haiku--especially the crunch--and hosting the exchange.

Thanks for doing this, Jone - I checked 10; if the total is not much more than 10, I'm all in - just trying to start the year off with a few boundaries for me tendency to over-do EVERYthing - ha!
